About
Citroën was founded by André Citroën in Paris in 1919 and became one of France’s most influential mass-market carmakers, known for engineering firsts like the front-wheel-drive Traction Avant and the hydropneumatic-suspended DS. It has been part of the PSA/Stellantis group since a 1976 merger with Peugeot that formed PSA Peugeot Citroën, and today shares platforms and powertrains with sister Stellantis brands including Peugeot, Opel and Vauxhall.
The brand’s current lineup centers on small and mid-size hatchbacks and crossovers such as the C3, C4 and C5 Aircross, alongside vans and the C3-based ë-C3 electric model. Citroën no longer sells in North America but remains a significant seller across Europe, with production spread across France, Spain, Slovakia and other Stellantis plants.
